this is so stupid we should just bioengineer injectable chloroplasts for our skin and power ourselves directly with the sun

(yes i am currently hungry but don't feel like cooking how can you tell?)

Mitochondria + Chloroplast and accompanying UV damage repair systems would be poggers.

Imagine being able to take a nap and snack at the same time. Totally plant coded and root pilled.
